Can you try another sound card? Maybe an older one from your junk box or a borrowed on. Also try putting the card in another slot.

The storm may have gotten the card and the Motherboard.

I'm having a problem with a SB LIVE! on a Dell computer running Win ME.  The volume will not stay on anything but zero.  When I move the slider, it slides back down.  I have uninstalled the sound card from Device Manager and re-installed, same problem.  I have not yet removed the card physically.  My thought is that it is storm damaged since it emitted a loud buzzing noise after a storm and has not worked since then
Any suggestions?Thanks
